President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko revealed the details of the departure of the leader of the Belarusian opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya in Lithuania in August 2020. He told about it during a meeting with officials on topical issues of the socio-political situation, writes BelTA.
Lukashenko denied the statement that the Belarusian authorities forced Tikhanovskaya to leave the country. “I read it today in the report that she was forced to leave Belarus and threatened that there almost children would catch and something else. Listen, the children are always exempted for me, and you know it. Children for parents should not bear it Such a responsibility that I will go to Lithuania, fucking children. Well, if you took them there, defend, “the president emphasized.
The head of the republic also stated that the opposition was personally asked to the head of the Operational Analytical Center under the President of Belarus, Andrei Pavlyuchenko, for the resolution of departure from the country and financial assistance. According to Lukashenko, Tikhanovsky gave 15 thousand dollars (more than one million rubles) and allowed to leave to Lithuania. “And today she suggests that she was threatened with her children from her and so on. Freezing!” – concluded the Belarusian president.
Earlier, Tikhanovskaya stated that he regret his departure from Belarus after the presidential election in August 2020. In her opinion, it was a mistake that partly led protesters to failure. At the same time, she noted, by the time Belarusians themselves were not ready for mass shares and did not have any coordination structures.
